## What is Escape?

Stop yourself — even when it's hard.

You've tried to quit before. You had willpower for 3 days. Then you found a workaround. Or you "just peeked." Or you told yourself one time wouldn't hurt.

You don't need more willpower. You need a system — a blocker that holds, and a recovery plan that rewires the habit.

FREE FOREVER — THE BLOCKER
40,000+ adult sites blocked in Safari. Works in private browsing and incognito. Enable the content blocker once and it works forever — no account, no setup, no nagging.

NO ACCOUNT NEEDED
No sign-up. No email. No name. You can be anyone here.

WHEN THE URGE HITS
Escape doesn't just block adult websites — it helps you get through the moment. Guided breathing and action steps ride out the craving. Not motivation. Not guilt. Real tools that work at 11 PM on a Tuesday.

PREMIUM — GO DEEPER
The Safari blocker is free. If you want to actually change — to rewire the habit and reset your focus — Premium gives you:
• Deep Block — block adult sites in every browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and more) and private tabs, not just Safari. Built to be hard to bypass.
• App blocking — block triggering iOS apps through Apple's Screen Time and Family Controls. Block what pulls you in.
• Custom site blocking — add any website or URL on top of the 40,000+ already blocked.
• Urge Flow — guided breathing and action steps the moment cravings hit.
• Practice — 5 daily skill-building rituals you can start anytime.
• The Mirror — a 60-second read-aloud ritual that rewires identity.
• Today's 5 — a daily quiz drawn from a 200-question library.
• Honest Streak — a free daily question. No scoring, just awareness.
• 28 recovery courses, 215 lessons — the brain science of quitting, triggers, the body, relationships, identity, and lasting change.
• Recovery timeline — see what's happening in your brain hour by hour, day by day, as it heals.
• Smart Alerts — pattern-based warnings an hour before your hardest times of day.
• 30-day recovery program — one lesson a day, built around your triggers.
• Daily Check-in — 30 seconds to reflect and build awareness.
• Insights — see your patterns, your hardest days, and what actually works.
• Calendar — track clean days, urges, and your streak over time.
• Strict Mode — a cooling-off lock that makes it hard to quit the app on impulse.

WHY IT WORKS
Blocking removes the easy access. The recovery plan does the rest — a daily habit, urge tools, and the science of dopamine and rewiring — so you stop white-knuckling and start changing. Track your streak, watch your brain reset, and build the discipline to reclaim your focus, your time, and your screen.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
No account, no email, no name. There's no server in our company. We can't see what you block.

Your streaks, journal, voice notes, and blocklists are stored on your phone. We use anonymous, aggregate signals to improve the app — never tied to you, never sold, never shared. App Store Privacy Nutrition Label: Data Not Collected.

Built by someone who gets it.

PRICING
The Safari blocker and streak tracking are free forever. Escape Premium (annual) includes a 3-day free trial. Cancel anytime in Apple Settings.

Escape is not medical advice. If you're struggling, please reach out to a professional.

### 5/5 — Actually cares

*2026-08-30*

This app actually cares about you getting better rather than just making a dollar . 100% reccomend it’s even awesome using the free version !

**Developer response:** Thank you. One of our main goals was to keep even the free version genuinely helpful. I appreciate your recommendation.

Sam

### 5/5 — Great app, great support, completely worth it!

*2026-08-23*

I’ve used other adult content blocking apps, and this one excels my expectations. What I really like about this app is that web browsers can be blocked and that really helped me in my journey to recovery. It also includes many helpful resources that help you understand why the addiction is happening and what you can do to escape it. Also Sam has been really helpful when I encountered some bugs in the app. If you’re serious about recovery I recommend you give Escape a try. It’s well worth its subscription price and it has many tools that help you in your recovery journey.

**Developer response:** Beautifully said. Thank you for writing this out. Reviews like yours are what help someone on the fence decide to try. Glad the Browser blocking is working for you.

The resources side is something we care about a lot. Blocking surely buys you time but understanding why it’s happening is what makes it stick.

Also, thank you for reporting those bugs as that kind of feedback is how the app gets better. More good things are coming soon.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2026-08-16*

I am very fortunate to have found Escape. No pressure just some help that’s sincere and consistent. There’s no one size fits all but this app will go along way in helping you to escape the darkness and enter the light.

**Developer response:** That’s exactly what we want Escape to be - something respectful that’s there when you need it, without judgment or pressure. We’ll keep working to make the app a helpful companion throughout recovery. Thank you for sharing this.

### 3/5 — Workarounds

*2026-08-15*

From what I’ve tested, you can still go to safari and look at the images tab with no restrictions, and it’s not even effecting browsers like opera GX

**Developer response:** Opera is blocking in our own testing. The free blocker covers Safari. To block every browser, including Opera GX, make sure Deep Block is turned on in the app.

On privacy, the only way to catch every possible workaround would be to route traffic through our servers, which would mean we could see everything users browse. We are not willing to do that. A lot of people use Escape specifically because everything stays on device, with no account and nothing tied to them.

If something is still getting through, please email us at support@escapethegrip.com with the steps you took. We will gladly look into it and help you get it working properly.

Thanks for testing it. We really do appreciate it.

### 5/5 — Good luck, we can do this

*2026-08-02*

Long past due, if you’re ready to be honest with yourself, get started

**Developer response:** Thank you. Being honest with yourself is the hardest part and the part that actually matters. The rest follows from there. Good luck to you too.

### 5/5 — Thanks God bless

*2026-08-01*

Honestly helped me more than anything else. Give me motivation when I needed it and didn’t cost me any money.

**Developer response:** Thank you. Keeping the core Safari blocker free is important for everyone. Glad the motivation landed when you needed it.

If you ever want more, Premium offers much more. But the free version isn’t going anywhere. Keep going.

### 5/5 — I’m 14 hope this helps me quit for good

*2026-07-29*

Hope

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing that. Starting this young is a real advantage. You’re building the habit before it gets harder. Take it one day at a time, and don’t be hard on yourself if you slip. That’s part of it.

Hope is the right word for it. Plenty of people have quit for good, and a lot of them started exactly where you are now. It gets easier.

Good luck. You’ve got this.

### 4/5 — Don’t overthink

*2026-07-23*

I feel as though there is no pressure to “do” something to change myself but can just let change occur. I don’t know how this will go, but I can tell the makers of the app are actually trying to help people help themselves. If you are still reading this then you’re still trying, don’t worry about messing up and just try to be better.

**Developer response:** Thank you. That last line is something we hope everyone reading gets to see. No pressure was the whole idea. Change sticks better when it isn’t forced.

We’re always building, and we’ve got more coming that’s aimed at making it easier to keep going without it feeling like a chore.

If anything’s missing for you, tell us at support@escapethegrip.com 
we read everything and act on it.

Wishing you the best with it. Come back and let us know how it’s going.

### 5/5 — Best app for this addiction

*2026-07-22*

It’s not some dumb “pay us 39$” for little protection, the maker of this app genuinely care about its user

**Developer response:** This issue matters to us a lot, A LOT. And honestly, most other apps didn’t work for us either, which is exactly why we built this one. 

Hearing it's actually helping is why we keep building. More features are coming soon that we think you'll like. Your review genuinely made our day. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Beyond worth it

*2026-07-20*

I struggled for a good while, but I think the feature of just being able to say “I relapsed” starting again, right there is such a huge thing. It’s not even funny. Their support team is also wonderful, I sent them a block suggestion and they got back to me almost immediately. I thought you were to pay for it and reading other reviews. It says you don’t have to but I paid for it anyways and I don’t regret it because it is worth it.

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to write this out. The “I relapsed” restart flow was one of the harder design calls. A lot of blockers punish you for slipping, and that felt wrong to us. 

Also want to thank you for the block suggestions you sent in. Those have already been implemented and are live for everyone now. Feedback like yours is genuinely how the app gets better.

Keep going, we’re rooting for you.

THE PANIC BUTTON
For the moment an urge hits. A hard stop, your streak on the line, a rapid catch-the-dots game to break the pull, then a sixty-second mirror beat - quotes from your own journey, with your live reflection.

LISTEN TO EVERY LESSON
The whole recovery library can now be read aloud - background audio, lock-screen controls, playback speed, and it resumes right where you left off. Listen on a walk or a drive. Titles stay discreet on the lock screen.

CATCH THEM
The panic drill as a daily practice game. Rewire the reflex before you need it, and chase your best.

YOUR ADULT CONTENT BLOCKER GOT STRONGER
More sites are now blocked by rule, custom website blocks apply instantly, and Deep Block's filter still closes Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and private tabs.

One more step toward quitting for good.
